Chapter 499 It’s Good to Herd the Sheep
The entire tribe is almost packed, and it doesn't matter if one or two runs away, and these people will definitely go to other tribes in the future. At that time, they will naturally exaggerate and brag about the power of the new weapons of the Song Army. Under Da Song's pincer attack, he didn't have much choice, and if he heard about it, it would be easier to surrender.
Sure enough, more and more Qiang people came to Wang Shao to surrender soon after, and gradually there were legends among the Qiang people that the Song Dynasty was fooled by gods and Buddhas, and sent down thunder to help the Song army. With the help of some caring people, these legends It's getting more and more exaggerated.
Seeing that more and more Qiang people surrendered, Shen Long approached Wang Shao and asked, "Zichun, what do you plan to do with these surrendered Qiang people?" If it is not handled properly, it is also a problem.
"The barbarians are afraid of prestige and do not cherish morality. Now the army of the Song Dynasty is growing stronger, oh, this is all thanks to the help of the Taoist priest." Wang Shao cupped his hands and thanked Shen Long, and then said, "With a certain plan, I am planning to get rid of these tribes. We have to draw elites from the army to form the Fan army, our Great Song cavalry is not as good as Xixia and Dangxiang, if we can form the Fan army cavalry, it will be of great benefit to the future attack on Xixia."
"As for the other tribes, divide them up and re-divide the pastures so that they can herd horses and sheep. It is necessary to prevent people who can unify the tribes from appearing, so as to ensure safety." Wang Shao came up with his own plan. He felt that Shen Long asked this There must be a deep meaning in the words, so he asked back, "Dare to ask, what is the clever plan?"
"These methods are not bad, but the requirements for the person who presides over Qinfeng Road are a bit stricter. If Zichun stays in Qinfeng Road, he will be safe and sound, but whether it is Zichun himself or the court, they must not be willing?" Shen Shen Long laughed and said, Wang Shao himself also has a desire to be promoted, his goal is the Privy Council, it is impossible to stay in the Northwest for the rest of his life, and the court is also afraid that Wang Shao will become bigger, and he will definitely be called back to Beijing after Qinfeng Road is settled in a few years.
It is not in line with political practice for someone as capable as Wang Shao to operate in one place for a long time. Let alone the Song Dynasty, it is not realistic even in later generations. Wang Shao is not comparable to Zhejia or Zhongjia However, the Chong family and the Zhe family operate in one place, and they are located on the border of the Song Dynasty and Xixia, so their ability to expand is limited.
Wang Shao will be in charge of a place along the way in the future. Such a large territory already has the potential to separate one side, and the court will certainly not allow him to stay here permanently; but among the officials of the Song Dynasty, how many people can compare with Wang Shao in ability? Woolen cloth? If it is replaced by a trash, then the Northwest will be corrupted again.
This is the case in history. As soon as Wang Shao left, the Qiang people surrounded Hezhou. If Wang Shao hadn't returned urgently to surprise the capital of the Qiang people, his years of hard work would have been in vain.
"Hey, it's not because I'm proud, I'm afraid that not many of the court officials have a little understanding of the affairs of the Northwest." Wang Shao sighed, and he also had similar concerns.
"This matter is easy to say, Zichun has a look at this album." Shen Long took out a few pieces of paper and handed them over. It is not reliable to rely on one's own strength alone, so other methods are needed here.
Wang Shao took it over and saw that the painting on it was some kind of machine, which seemed to be used for weaving, but the existing looms in the Song Dynasty were different. Wang Shao asked curiously, "Master Dao, What is this for?"
"It is used to weave wool into thread." Shen Longyou took out a ball of thread and handed a sweater to Wang Shao, "Before the Qiang people raised sheep, they could only eat meat, and mutton could not be stored for a long time. In the black disaster, horses and sheep were killed and injured, and they had to fight for the Song Dynasty with all their lives, so they had no way to survive, so they fought bravely and did not fear death."
"However, wool can be stored for a long time. Buying wool from the Qiang people, transporting it back to Guanzhong, weaving it into thread, and then weaving it into sweaters and selling it to other places, will be several times the profit; in this way, Guanzhong becomes rich, and the Qiang people Some people can also earn some money, and with the money, they can buy food from the Song Dynasty to survive the bad and black disasters, and then let them learn to read and write. In the long run, there will be no big difference between the Qiang people and the Song people." Shen Long explained.
Wang Shao reached out and touched the sweater. He felt that it was much warmer than the popular linen. It was just right for a place like the Northwest, and it would definitely sell for a good price.
"The Daoist priest is really powerful. The original useless wool can turn into such a good thing. It can be called turning stone into gold!"
"I didn't do it, I just reminded it, and then Su Zirong led a few students to make this thing. According to my idea, I can also tell the Yao family, the Zhe family, and the Chong family about it. , the Qu family, and some local tyrants in Shaanxi spent a sum of money to buy this kind of machine from the school." Naturally, the Wang family's share is indispensable.
"On weekdays, everyone opens their own factories, but every year before buying wool from the Qiang, Dangxiang, and even Khitan people, it is best for everyone to get together to discuss and determine a suitable purchase price, so as not to rob each other. , but let other people take advantage of it.” The same is true when it comes to sales. In the initial stage, price alliances are still necessary.
There are guilds in all walks of life in the Song Dynasty, and Xu Xian opened a clinic and worshiped the Three Emperors Patriarchs Association. Wang Shao also knew this, and he immediately thought of the benefits of this matter.
Each company opens a factory separately, so it is not easy to cause taboos from the court, and when purchasing and selling are discussed uniformly, they can form a unified price and increase their own profits.
"And from now on, you can use wool to control those Qiang people." If you understand the difference between industrial and agricultural scissors, and the control methods of plantations and colonies in European and American countries, there are many ways to do it.
"That's right, if that tribe is disobedient, everyone will not accept his wool. At that time, there will be no need for the Song Dynasty to send troops to conquer, and his tribe will rebel! And there is a risk of rebellion, and they will take the money they earned from buying wool. Wouldn't you like to enjoy yourself?" This is a soft knife that kills without blood.
Wang Shao only saw this, but did not notice that this incident also had a huge impact within the Song Dynasty. The combination of so many local generals and tyrants is not a small force. After a few years, their strength is getting stronger and stronger. The stronger you are, the more you dare to fight for your own interests.
What should I do if the wool produced by the surrounding Qiang tribes can no longer meet the production demand? Use the knife to lay down a bigger territory! In the past, the Central Plains and the barbarians from all over the world lost money in wars, but now wars can bring benefits. These generals and tyrants don't look like they have been beaten with chicken blood?
As for the conquered barbarians, let’s raise sheep for Da Song. When the child is born, they will follow the adults to herd the sheep, then sell the sheep to marry a wife and have a baby, and then herd the sheep to marry a wife when the baby grows up. Well, these days Isn't it also very good!
